She died suddenly at the age of 38! It was only 3 days from diagnosis to death. This kind of cancer is very dangerous

In this fast-paced era, we are all like clockwork dolls, spinning and spinning non-stop until one day, it suddenly stops. Just last week, our hospital received a young lady named Amy, who was only 39 years old and had a successful career and a happy family. But no one expected that her life would come to an end in just three days. All this was because of a dangerous cancer - acute pancreatic cancer. As her attending physician, I witnessed this tragedy with my own eyes. Amy's departure is not only a heavy blow to her family, but also a wake-up call for all of us. Today, I would like to talk to you about this topic, hoping to use my professional knowledge to help you sound the alarm for health. First, let's learn about pancreatic cancer.

It is known as the "king of cancer" because it has almost no symptoms in the early stages and once discovered is often in the late stages, making it extremely difficult to treat.

This was the case with Amy, who tragically passed away three days after her diagnosis.

Pancreatic cancer is called the "king of cancer" mainly because it has the following characteristics:

1. Difficulty in early detection

Pancreatic cancer has few obvious symptoms in the early stages, or only mild upper abdominal discomfort, such as a feeling of fullness, dull pain, or dull pain. These symptoms are similar to those of many other common diseases and can be easily ignored or misdiagnosed.

When symptoms become more severe, such as abdominal pain, jaundice, weight loss, etc., it usually means that the cancer has entered the late stage, and treatment becomes much more difficult.

2. Poor treatment effect

Even if pancreatic cancer is detected early, treatment options are relatively limited.

Surgery is the only possible cure for pancreatic cancer, but many patients have already missed the opportunity for surgery by the time they are diagnosed.

Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy can relieve symptoms and prolong survival time, their therapeutic effects on pancreatic cancer are not ideal and are accompanied by significant side effects.

3. High mortality rate

Pancreatic cancer has a very high mortality rate, and even with treatment, the 5-year survival rate for most patients remains low.

According to statistics, the 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is less than 5%, and the median survival time is less than 20 months.

If the cancer has metastasized, survival may be shortened to less than six months.

4. Rapid development and deterioration

Pancreatic cancer develops and worsens very quickly. Once discovered, it is often in the late stage, when the cancer cells may have spread to other organs, making it extremely difficult to treat.

This tells us that we cannot wait until the body sends out an alarm before paying attention to our health, but we must do a good job of prevention and inspection in normal times.

So, how can we prevent pancreatic cancer? Here are a few tips that I hope everyone can keep in mind!

Healthy eating

Eat more fruits and vegetables and reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods.

Amy was busy with work and often ate takeout, which invisibly increased her risk of disease.

Moderate exercise

Maintaining a regular exercise habit can help us maintain our weight and enhance our immunity.

Although Amy is busy at work, she should also take time to do moderate exercise.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption

Smoking and excessive drinking are both high risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Amy doesn't smoke, but sometimes she has to have a few drinks for socializing, which is something we need to pay attention to.

Regular medical check-ups

Especially for people with a family history, relevant examinations should be carried out regularly.

Amy had never had a targeted pancreatic examination before, which caused her to miss the opportunity for early detection.

So, which specific foods can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer?

To reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer, consider increasing your intake of the following foods:

Tomatoes: The lycopene in tomatoes has anti-cancer effects. It is an antioxidant that can eliminate cancer-inducing oxygen free radicals in the body.

Radish: Radish contains mustard oil, which has the effect of promoting gastrointestinal motility, increasing appetite and helping digestion.

The enzymes in radish can eliminate the carcinogen nitrosamines in the body and increase the activity of macrophages, enabling them to engulf cancer cells.

Rice bran: Rice bran contains a polysaccharide called "RBS", which may help prevent the proliferation of cancer cells.

Soybeans: More and more research results show that soybeans have anti-cancer effects.

Five anti-cancer compounds in soybeans have been found in animal experiments.

Deep-sea fish: Eating deep-sea fish regularly can prevent pancreatic cancer.

People who eat more fish rich in DHA, such as salmon, have a 30% lower risk of pancreatic cancer than those who eat less.

By increasing your intake of these foods, you can reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer to some extent.

At the same time, combining a healthy lifestyle, such as exercising moderately and avoiding bad habits, can further improve the prevention effect.

Although Amy's story is sad, it teaches us a valuable lesson. Health is not something that can be taken for granted, it requires our careful care. I hope everyone can cherish their own bodies and not let similar tragedies happen again. Finally, I want to say to Amy, although you have left us, your story will become a force for us to protect our health. May you rest in peace in heaven, and we will continue to work hard to keep more people away from the troubles of disease.
